Fix issue #9: Added projectile logic to Henry and Rudolf

Fix for issue: #9
Added projectile logic to Henry and Rudolfs special attacks.

• Added global variable array that contains special attacks that are projectiles
• Added logic to special attacks, to skip setting mass to 0, if the id exists in the above array.

Thank you so much for your contribution!
By the way, is there actually some special effects when the arrows fall onto the ground in original LF2?

[oliver-cool-beans]

Not a problem, what a great project!

There are no special effects when the arrows/shurikens fall on the ground.
But now that you mention it, I've forgotten to replicate the rebound effect when these projects hit another character.
The projectiles now just chain through enemy's when colliding. Which makes them very overpowered!
These should behave like the regular weapons do.

I found this video which shows gameplay of both the characters (having problems installing original lf2 on my machine)

@tyt2y3 I've managed to add in the falloff for the projectiles. updated the GIF to show this.
Arrows now break and fall off like the original game.
Shurikens just fall off.

Let me know if there is a better way to do this.

wow. what a quick turnover. side question, how did you capture the GIF? interesting

[oliver-cool-beans]

I find it easier to submit GIF's as it's easier to see what's going on.

Nice work. I guess you now understand more of the core logic than I do!

[tyt2y3]

So do you think Henry and Rudolf now works as intended??

[oliver-cool-beans]

The basic attacks do.
But i noticed an issue with Rudolfs special ability where he duplicates himself.
This is broken. Will need to spawn 2 more rudolfs and apply some basic AI to the clones.
Clones would also need to have a smaller health pool. (not sure the exact numbers)

Will raise an issue about this

Thank you so much. This project was started like 10 years ago when I was still an undergrad.

I am glad people still find this interesting today.
Anyway, I actually had a plan, is that after we fully supports the 10 main characters (Deep, John, Louis, Firen, Freeze, Rudulf, Henry, Dennis, Woody, Davis),
I will call it 1.0.0.
Well I guess we are one step closer to it!

Yeah the 'spawn 2 more rudolfs' part is the most difficult. We have had some basic AI inplace, but its behavior is no where like 'Rudolf'. The 'dumbass' AI only knows melee attacks.

If you have some free time, perhaps we can work together towards that 1.0.0 goal 🏆
